NAME

JE::Object::Error - JavaScript Error object class

SYNOPSIS

use JE::Object::Error;

# Somewhere in code called by an eval{}
die new JE::Object::Error $global, "(Error message here)";

# Later:
$@->prop('message');  # error message
$@->prop('name');     # 'Error'
"$@";                 # 'Error - ' plus the error message

DESCRIPTION

This class implements JavaScript Error objects for JE. This is the base class for all JavaScript's native error objects. (See "SEE ALSO", below.)

Error objects stringify to the return value of the toString method with a newline appended. This is different from other objects, which simply stringify to the return value of toString as is.

METHODS

See JE::Types for descriptions of most of the methods. Only what is specific to JE::Object::Error is explained here.

The value method returns the string 'Error - ' followed by the error message. 'Error' will be replaced with the class name (the result of calling ->class) for subclasses.

The new_constructor method (see JE::Object for details) does not work in subclasses. If you create a new_constructor method in your own subclass of JE::Object::Error, call $class->JE::Object::new_constructor instead of using SUPER.
